Re: PGAL Check In- July 11
How are you feeling physically/mentally? Physically I'm feeling really good. I get tired easily though. Mentally I'm doing pretty well. I get anxious if baby girl isn't moving as much as I think she should be.
Next milestone/appointment? 28 week growth scan August 3. I also have to do the GTT sometime in the next few weeks.
Rant/Rave/Anything else: I think DH and I have agreed on a name! We won't make the final decision until we meet her though.
GTKY: What's your favorite party game? Cards against humanity
How are you feeling physically/mentally? Mentally, a lot better after we had an elective ultrasound this past weekend. It was a treat for my Mom as she was in town and hasn't been to any ultrasounds previously. Physically, just fair. I've been having bad acid reflux at times, that may or may not lead to vomiting. My ankles swell pretty bad at work, but then improve as soon as I go home and elevate them. My back has also started hurting pretty bad during the night, as I'm having more difficulty finding a comfortable position.
Next milestone/appointment? Appointment this Friday for the second anatomy scan and the dreaded glucose test.
Rant/Rave/Anything else: We started The Bradley classes last week and love it so far!! It was just our 1st class out of 12, but so far we are both really impressed and I'm really looking forward to the next session!!
GTKY: What's your favorite party game? Dictionary Dabble. This is a Thanksgiving tradition for my family!!
How are you feeling physically/mentally? I get tired! My body is achy. Today I have a brutal headache. Mentally I'm doing okay. A coworker had a baby yesterday except she thought she was only 7 months along and the baby was totally full term! TIA right there. (TIA being This is Africa) haha. But it really got me thinking about how soon this little one could/will be here!
Next milestone/appointment? Apt from last week is rescheduled for tomorrow!
Rant/Rave/Anything else: I just need this headache to go away
GTKY: What's your favorite party game? I love games. At our 4th of July get together we played Pit (oldie but goodie) and it was so much fun and I had forgotten how much I love games.
How are you feeling physically/mentally? Still feeling pretty good! Ankles are swelling more frequently when I'm on them or haven't gotten enough water, but not too tire and not too achy - I'll take it!
Next milestone/appointment? Growth scan next week, 7/19 - hoping my placenta rose (was lying low at 20 weeks...)
Rant/Rave/Anything else: Had a lovely girls weekend this past weekend with some college friends - except I soooo wanted to partake in the wine drinking!! Had extra dessert instead. *sigh*
GTKY: What's your favorite party game? Gotta go with Cards Against Humanity, too! Though I love trivia games, and I used to RULE at Flip Cup (been awhile since I played that one!).
How are you feeling physically/mentally? Physically my body aches, and I'm super tired most of the day, sleeping is such a challenge nowadays. Mentally I'm pretty stable, even though i also freak out from time to time when baby isn't moving as much
Next milestone/appointment? looking forward to the 3rd trimester. Next appointment is on the 23rd and its the first of my biweekly appointments
Rant/Rave/Anything else: my feet are starting to swell from time to time and it is not cute at all lol, ALSO THIS damn heartburn is so annoying and keeps me up most nights (rolls eyes)
GTKY: What's your favorite party game? i feel like the only loser cuz i don't have a favorite party game, or atlas i can't seem to think of one at the moment
How are you feeling physically/mentally? Mostly just tired. Worried about everything I need to do and definitely not wanting to do it. Worried when the baby doesn't kick enough. But mostly just tired.
Next milestone/appointment? GD test on the 19th - will be 27 weeks on Thursday so that's 3rd tri I guess
Rant/Rave/Anything else: I'm about to go take a nap. I am seriously useless!
GTKY: What's your favorite party game? staying home
How are you feeling physically/mentally? Physically ok but I just feel kinda awkward (and getting uncomfortable as I get bigger. Mentally trying not to let myself stress too much about last week's (2nd) fetal echo...having to wait yet again to rule things out seems like torture to me
Next milestone/appointment? Growth ultrasound and MFM this week
Rant/Rave/Anything else: Not sure, I'm pretty excited for my shower and hoping it'll be a nice distraction from other things going on (BR and NBR)
GTKY: What's your favorite party game? This isn't very creative but I guess beer pong
How are you feeling physically/mentally? Physically, besides trying to deal with weight gain and body changes I'm pretty good. Much better mentally this week too since I'm so much more aware of his movements and feel him constantly
Next milestone/appointment? I have mt GT next Friday, then don't have a Dr appt until August 5th which seems like forever away.
Rant/Rave/Anything else: Had my parents here this weekend and stocked up on more baby stuff, picked out his room color. We move next month so ready to get his room together and be settled.
GTKY: What's your favorite party game? I'm also a Cards Against Humanity fan. Always a good time!
28!
How are you feeling physically/mentally?
Physically- Like a land whale. Mentally- Less like unstable, inpatient material, so at least I have that going for me.
Next milestone/appointment?
Waiting for my GT results from yesterday and to schedule my next appointment, next milestone I believe is 30 weeks! Wow, 3rd tri already...
Rant/Rave/Anything else:
I have gained 30 pounds. At least my boobs are awesome!
GTKY: What's your favorite party game?
I have never played Cards Against Humanity, but want to badly! Apples to Apples have been our jam haha
How are you feeling physically/mentally? Physically just hot and tired. I'm pretty depressed tho, still kind of figuring out how to move on from what happened with my husband this weekend.
Next milestone/appointment?
I'm in my third trimester so yay me!! Next appt is the 27th and I got to every two weeks after that.
Rant/Rave/Anything else:
Trying not to obsess over the fact that I'm only about 5 pounds away from what I weighed at my heaviest.
GTKY: What's your favorite party game?
When I was a party person? Drinking. Lol. Now I'd rather stay home and snuggle my husband. I'm very socially awkward and I'm becoming very antisocial as I get older.
How are you feeling physically/mentally? Achy in the hips and feet, and really tired, but other than that good! A lot of anxiety this past week. I think because we are moving forward with classes and the nursery and stuff, it's all becoming so real, and almost feels too good to be true.
Next milestone/appointment? Our shower at the end of July
Rant/Rave/Anything else: We went to our breastfeeding class last night and I literally almost had to leave the room during one of the videos because it was making me so emotional. I felt so silly and I never thought an educational breastfeeding video would get me all anxious and emotional.
GTKY: What's your favorite party game? I have to go with cards against humanity as well, although I do love trivia and Cranium is a really good one too!

How are you feeling physically/mentally? Feeling good overall, just the typical pregnancy complaints.

Rant/Rave/Anything else: Things are going pretty well, I just hope that I can get/stay motivated in order to finish decluttering and setting up for the baby and enjoy the summer with my son.
GTKY: What's your favorite party game? cards against humanity, but there is this new game i want to try out that's called quelf. i've heard great things about it.
